Whole Wheat Brown Butter Banana Muffins

Ahoy! Happy Friday, lovers! This week I’ve been pretty silent on Twitter and Facebook ’cause I went camping at the Oregon coast with my 3 year old, my in-laws, my sister-in-law and her two boys in a forrest down yonder up the jolly roger poll. We are brave souls.

In that time I got rained on, eaten my body weight in trail mix and failed miserably at avoiding all things that crawl. Oh, and taken up pirate talk, apparently. Don’t mind that. Minor detail.

I brought these fabulous muffins camping {with ye old braid beard who made me swab the deck} and we loved them. Hearty, healthy, moist and delicious. Perfect for make ahead snacks, breakfasts or traveling food.  Bananas in general are fabulous little portable snacks that make perfect fuel for the body before a run or bike ride–> unless you hate bananas….in which case, I’m sorry. I’ll eat a banana before a long run or throw it into a protein shake for breakfast. Super yummy.

I typically buy Dole bananas because that’s what my store carries. And, little known fact: Dole has dubbed Portland as a Top Banana City. Holla back Portland!

    This may sound crazy, but have you updated/changed this recipe? I could have swore this was our go to recipe but if so it used to have flaxseeed and wheat germ in it…

    I liked Dole and laurenslatest on fb, followed you on pineterest and subscribed to you via email! I’ve only been following you for about a month and a half, my friend introduced your site to me and I haven’t been able to look back! I don’t know where you get all your recipes, but I used to go to allrecipes.com for everything, but not anymore! I loooove your site! I recommend it all the time and just recently I made that garlic bread with the cheese slices in between, I don’t remember the name, but oh my heavens! wow! I didn’t follow it exactly, because I didn’t have all that you did, so I compromised. I didn’t have the seasoned butter so I made my own with fresh parsley crumbled with some garlic and melted it altogether…wow. and I also used a different cheese as well, I used monterey jack cheese instead, but it was still oober delicious! I have 6 kids and we scarfed down all of it! haha! I am so glad that I doubled that recipe! It is by far the best garlic bread I have EVER had, and my husband used to work at a bakery. We were spoiled with what he would bring home, and this tops their garlic bread for sure! I think I used like 3 cubes of butter total, because we just couldn’t get enough on our bread! Thanks so much for sharing these recipes! My husband’s mother is hispanic and takes her recipes to the grave, seriously, there is no sharing of recipes unless you are family. Never made any sense whatsoever, but because of it, I have never been able to get a recipe I would looove to get. So maybe you could? Think of it, as a challenge…I would love to get my hands on a good carnitas recipe. What do you think? You up to the challenge? 🙂 I definitely hope so! It is my favorite thing to eat, but unfortunately it is also the one thing my husband’s mother was never taught to make and since no one shares recipes, she can never learn. I think it is an old tradition that needs to be changed! What it is the point of having such good recipes if you can’t share it with others? If you want to know a good tres leche recipe let me know! 🙂 it is made with a yellow cake mix, and tastes awesome! -Char
